The Law Does Not Compensate All Accident Victims

In Ontario, the law has specific criteria that determine compensation for accident victims, particularly regarding pain and suffering. The deductible and threshold system means that only those with serious and permanent impairments are eligible for compensation, leaving many with minor or moderate injuries without support. This often comes as a surprise to victims who are unaware of these limitations until it is too late.

The law does not compensate all accident victims for their pain and suffering. Here’s one of the coldest realities of Ontario's system: the deductible and threshold system is built on the idea that minor injuries should not be compensated. Lawmakers decided that unless your impairments are both serious and permanent, you shouldn't be compensated for your pain, even if you are completely innocent. In other words, they've baked into the system that minor and even some moderate injuries don't count. It's a harsh reality most accident victims never hear about until it's too late.
